Congratulations
on the high quality of the material. I have not seen better copies or binding
anywhere, and I appreciate it! A lot of time, effort and skill must have been
spent to get such high-quality reproductions. Best regards, John Coobick.

Thank you for the very prompt receipt of the various
manuals. Incredible range of information. Superbly printed, bound and packaged
and impeccable service. Thanks very much.
As you probably know, you're not the only English supplier of manuals for aging
machines, but by my experiment by far the best. Your material is better copied
and is made of highquality material.
Great work. Sincerely, Peer Klarskov.

Thanks for the manual, I will now strip the lathe to its
last nut and bolt and give it an overhaul. I would not have thought about doing
this without your help and amazing site with its detailed information.

A fantastic Web Site - a reference for all. Many thanks,
Alan Whitaker.

MC308 Colchester Master Early Lathes (1930s to early 1950s with an cast-iron
plinth under headstock and a leg under the tailstock end). Unfortunately data
published by the Company for their early lathes was either non existent or
skimpy - and information about early Colchester Master lathes (before about
1953/4) has been difficult to find. No proper handbook was published until a
small A5 edition, complete with a photographic parts list, of the late 1940s.
Unfortunately even this was not complete, as it lacked the comprehensive
screwcutting data of the later, larger editions (though the screwcutting
arrangement was, actually, identical). Therefore, I have put together a pack of
data of everything that is known: it consists of the first handbook for the
Master/Student, the screwcutting sheets from the next edition and 64 pages of
early Colchester Sales & Specification Literature showing all the various
models of Master lathe made and most of the other lathes of the same era. £40

MC310 Colchester Student, Master and Dominion Lathes Mk 1 and"Mk. 1½" (and other versions,

models this edition includes information about the rare all-metric screwcutting
gearbox version, the "Third-shaft electrical control" version and
details and a Parts Manual for the English and metric "Quick-threader" units and the Hydraulic Copy
equipment. Also includes Electrical Circuits and copies of the maker's Technical Specification, Sales and Accessories Catalogues. £45

For getting to grips with the Granville lathe the following is ideal -
published originally in 1947 to make up for the fact that all lathes like the
Granville had no proper instructions with them.
"The Amateurs Lathe".
Written as long ago as 1947 to make up for the fact that no small British lathe
of the time - Drummond, Myford, Grayson, Granville, Adept, Portass, etc. - had
a satisfactory handbook, this publication details, in great clarity, every
detail of a lathe's construction and goes through all the basic (and some
advanced) operating procedures in a simple and logical way - and has long been
regarded as an indispensable aid to the beginner - or even experienced turner.
It includes such useful things as screwcutting charts for various pitches of
leadscrew including one that suits the Grayson. If you want to know about
countershafts, drive system suitable turning speeds, how to sharpen tools, etc.
this is the book. We always have copies in stock for immediate delivery: £12.75

worthwhile literature. The book covers in detail all the elements of a lathe's
construction, its operation, Maintenance and how to make accessories.

detailed 105 page small-format Manual showing how to get the best from these
well-built machines. £39

MS526A
Sheldon early 10-inch lathe with exposed flat-belt drive . This model began
life in the late 1930s as a rather agricultural-looking device but, by the
early 1940s had been mounted on a very neat underdrive stand and the design
cleaned up to look very modern indeed. By the 1950s two versions of the 10â€ﾝ lathe
were being offered, both with a screwcutting gearbox and power cross feed as
Standard. Both were identical apart from the spindle: the Model L had a 11/16â€ﾝ spindle
bore and a 1.75â€ﾝ diameter, 8 t.p.i spindle thread whilst the Model Series
XL had a bore of 13/8â€ﾝ and a spindle nose diameter of 2.25â€ﾝ with 8
threads per inch.
Unfortunately a proper hand book was never produced for the flat-belt drive
version but we can offer a "data pack" that gives all the information
known about this model. It consists of: "Care and Operation of a
Lathe"; the large and well-illustrated Sheldon catalogue of the early
1940s and a copy of the hand book for the later L and XL 10-inch lathes -
though these are somewhat different parts were carried over and the
screwcutting data is applicable. £45

the 1940s to early 1950s under various designations. A complete 169-page Data Pack

Technical Specification & Accessories Catalog and a copy of the Sheldon Publication "Care and Operation of a Lathe". £55GBP

contains much more information about how to operate it as well as many
screwcutting charts, lists of changewheels set-ups as machines left the
factory, metric conversions and other valuable data. A few mechanical details
are different but the operating procedures are identical. Also included is a
copy of the original Sheraton advertising catalogue and Sheraton Spares Manual

Manual for these models is the one produced in England for the South Bend clone
by Boxford. Unlike the South Bend book "How to Run a Lathe" this
edition concentrates in detail on the 9-inch lathe, not the whole range, and
thus contains much additional material including instructions and extra
screwcutting charts, lists of ex-factory changewheels set-ups, metric

MS876-10-11STANDARD MODERN
"10-inch lathe". We don't have the specific manual but the
"10-inch" is very similar to the Series 2000 11" model (the
10" measurement is conservative) with the main difference appearing to be
that the headstock and tailstock are rounded rather than angular in appearance
- and generally less "modern" looking. Model 2000 was also made with
two centre heights: 11-inches and 13-inches. The manual I have is marked for
the 11-inch - but it has also been found to cover the 10-inch and 13-inch
models. Details of the lathes on my site here:
